    Upgrade from win 8.1 to win 10 with multiple disk drives?


    Thank you all for advice.
    To test things out Today I have upgraded my laptop from win 7 u 64bit to win 10 pro and everything went perfectly fine and suprisingly, win 10 really does feel awesome eg. all those fast and responsive animations and new windows design with new icons.

    I feel I am good to upgrade gaming pc also.

    I just had my desktop personal computer upgraded.

    I have also some questions about system software.
    Here is a link to my pc's motherboard:
    Motherboard - The world leader in motherboard design

    There are different chipset drivers for Win 8.1 64 and Win 10 64 and my question is following:
    During the upgrade, have those new drivers intsalled automatically by windows update or should I download and install them manually ?

    Yes i would download them and install them. Some of the ones Windows 10 will update itself may just be. eg. Video card, sound card. Under drivers choose whether your system is 64bit or 32bit for Windows 10, the on board VGA and onboard sound are the ones from this list Windows 10 may have and install or update itself through windows update. As rest you can download and install, this should be one of first things done after this upgrade.

    Check device manager after the upgrade to see if those onboard drivers were installed, need help with this ask more on it here.

    One thing confuses me at the moment - in contol panel, it shows nvidia graphics driver 350.12 installed but when I open nVidia control panel, it shows me version 353.54.

    What to do in such case ?

    What Video card model do you have ? In device manager right click the device and select scan for hardware changes. Also try rebooting, but not the newest NVIDIA drivers.

    Upgrade from win 8.1 to win 10 with multiple disk drives?

    This case is on my laptop with gt 740m vcard.
    It means that I should not install the latest nvidia driver but one step inferior ?

    Clear up some confusion here, beginning of this thread we were first talking about a desktop, now in your last post here it is a laptop, because before this asking me about MSI motherboard and about drivers needed for Windows 10.

    This laptop can provide correct drivers, but is it Windows 10, 8.1 and is Operating system 32bit or 64 bit ?

    Sorry for the confusion - I updated my laptop to win 10 pro 64bit from win 7 ultimate 64bit.
    I have manually uninstalled the nvidia drivers and components and now there is no driver at all which makes me confused how in control panel was one version and in the nvidia ontrol panel other version...

    All other discussions earlier were all about a desktop.

    O.K. why did you figure to uninstall them after the upgrade ? Windows 10 is going to install them for you, why it shows different, not sure, here is correct drivers. When you install them select Custom install and check the box just below items to be installed, called Perform a clean install, remove all older software drivers. Let me know how it works http://www.nvidia.com/download/drive...px/89127/en-us

    I uninstalled them in order to see if there is a new driver installed during upgrade and old one left in system by accident.But now there is none of the versions.

    I will install your suggested driver and let you know the results afterwards...

    The new driver has been successfully installed and everything on the system runs fine.Also the driver information in windows control panel matches with the driver version in nvidias control panel.
    On ASUS K56CB homepage, there are few updates for win 10 64bit and I am wondering if win 10 really updated every system chip automatically?I went through most devices in device manager by right clicking and updating drivers from online - most of them had already best drivers installed as the device manager suggested, but a few managed to fetch updates online eg. BT, MEI.

    I only see a touchpad driver that looks like only one may want here, do not see any others like mentioned Intel Management Engine interface most likely will get updated by Windows 10 if it has not already, found in System in Device manager.
